23 By faith aMoses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the bking’s edict.

24 By faith Moses, awhen he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,

25 choosing rather to aendure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

26 aconsidering the reproach of 1Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the breward.

27 By faith he aleft Egypt, not bfearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as cseeing Him who is unseen.

28 By faith he 1akept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that bhe who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.

29 By faith they apassed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were 1drowned.

30 By faith athe walls of Jericho fell down bafter they had been encircled for seven days.

31 By faith aRahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies 1in peace.

32 And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of aGideon, bBarak, cSamson, dJephthah, of eDavid and fSamuel and the prophets,

33 who by faith aconquered kingdoms, bperformed acts of righteousness, cobtained promises, dshut the mouths of lions,

34 aquenched the power of fire, bescaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, cbecame mighty in war, cput foreign armies to flight.

35 aWomen received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their 1release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection;

36 and others 1experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also achains and imprisonment.

37 They were astoned, they were bsawn in two, 1they were tempted, they were cput to death with the sword; they went about din sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, eill-treated

38 (men of whom the world was not worthy), awandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes 1in the ground.
